Hello,
I am an IMG, graduatd in 1994 and ECFMG certified in 1996. I tried to get in to the residency, but did not match because of my low scores. I gave up after trying for 3 years, took up a job in health care field and have been working for 6 years.
I recently called ECFMFG to ask if I can retake the exams beause it's going to be 10 years since I passed the exams. They told me that I need to get a letter from my state licensing board that my score are not valid anymore. I got the letter from state board and started preparing for the exams.
What do you think my chances are getting into residency since I am an old graduate now?
I appreciate a response from anyone who is in the similar situation or anyone who retook the exams.

USCE is United States Clinical Experience. But you say you've been working in the medical field for 6 years, so that's more than enough. since you'll retake all the steps, you have plenty of chances, now focus on get as high scores as you can. Good luck!
